I definitely require high speed internet access. Other than that, I could use some help! EDIT: Mountains are not a deal breaker. Water would be nice, but sea level rise is a concern.
EDIT: Oh, Come ONNNN!!!

Alberni is amazing but I wouldn’t live there due to natural hazard risk. If there is a tsunami (and that’s not even an if, it’s long overdue) the town will be gone. And there will be no way to evacuate because there is only one way out
Natural disasters are definitely a concern
They’re overinflating the risk of that happening by a wide margin.
The last tsunami didn’t even wipe out the town, in fact it didn’t kill a single person in Port Alberni despite destroying 55 houses and damaging hundreds of others. It’s unlikely a second one would be worse considering that the earthquake that caused that one is still the strongest earthquake ever recorded in North America.
Also, the last one also happened in 1964, long before things like earthquake and tsunami warning sirens were a thing.
I’m talking about “the big one” though which is long overdue
